ALBANY — If you blinked you missed the first live goal-line drills of camp. There were only two plays run and both were dominated by the defense.

“Give ’em a little taste,” Tom Coughlin said.

The first play, run from inside the 2-yard line, featured both starting units. Brandon Jacobs carried the ball and DT Jay Alford penetrated, forcing Jacobs into the waiting arms of DE Justin Tuck and S Kenny Phillips for no gain. The second units were on the field for the second play, with Ahmad Bradshaw forced outside and LB Chase Blackburn making the tackle.

This was the most crowded day of camp thus far, with 6,720 fans in attendance for Autograph Day. Following the practice players spent several minutes signing for the fans crowded along the fences separating the fans from the fields.

Practice highlights:

S C.C. Brown leaped with WR Mario Manningham and came away with an interception off David Carr.

Carr fired deep downfield and hit rookie WR Hakeem Nicks for a 35-yard completion, with Nicks beating Brown and rookie CB Stoney Woodson. On the next play, WR Derek Hagan ran by Woodson and hauled in a 30-yard pass. That prompted defensive backs coach David Merritt to shout “That’s a first-class ticket back to South Carolina.” Woodson attended South Carolina.

In a 7 on 7 drill CB Aaron Ross would have been called for pass interference for grabbing TE Kevin Boss.

LB Jonathan Goff picked off a pass from rookie QB Rhett Bomar. It was the 14th interception by the defense in seven practices.

In the team period DE Mathias Kiwanuka beat G Kevin Boothe for a sack. Alford, who has been strong all camp, also had a sack.
